We attended the Mansfield Cruise in for 2008, an annual gathering of antique and custom car aficionados. Although there was a breeze blowing if you did not remain in the shade the sun became uncomfortable in short order. There was a considerable gathering of enthusiasts, more so than last year. We found many areas of…

  Well, it seems ‘American Atheists’ is in trouble. A humongous disagreement between the former president and affiliate organizations have left the group in chaos. I guess this is to be expected when you have a group wherein every single individual is an independent thinker. Whereas conformity is easy in a religious organization, wherein everyone…

  Some people think they are going to live forever. If not as a human being then as something more in a next life. Some think they are going to reincarnate. Teenagers, of course, simply feel that they will go on, are not only immortal, but invulnerable as well. They all are wrong. This is…

  I have often thought that if I were born with less of an intellect, less of a thinking mind, perhaps I would enjoy life a bit more. Imagine going through life thinking no one means you any harm, that all is rosy. Imagine even the most  asinine or hate-filled insult going right over your…

People can be so hurtful. A lot of people use words carelessly and inadvertently cause emotional hurt to others. These people are simply crude individuals who have no care or understanding of the turmoil they cause. They go through life insulting others deeply all the while unaware. These people, though they should be avoided can…
